[PATCH v3 2/2] KVM: X86: Ultra fast single target IPI fastpath

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@xxxxxxxxxxx>

IPI and Timer cause the main MSRs write vmexits in cloud environment
observation, let's optimize virtual IPI latency more aggressively to
inject target IPI as soon as possible.

Running kvm-unit-tests/vmexit.flat IPI testing on SKX server, disable
adaptive advance lapic timer and adaptive halt-polling to avoid the
interference, this patch can give another 7% improvement.

w/o fastpath -> fastpath            4238 -> 3543  16.4%
fastpath     -> ultra fastpath      3543 -> 3293     7%
w/o fastpath -> ultra fastpath      4238 -> 3293  22.3%

This also revises the performance data in commit 1e9e2622a1 (KVM: VMX:
FIXED+PHYSICAL mode single target IPI fastpath), that testing adds
--overcommit cpu-pm=on to kvm-unit-tests guest which is unnecessary.
